vmk&zC 'mi GREETINGS Rock V roll idol Elvis Presley reads Army draft notice at his home in Memphis, Tenn. The notice ordered the guitar-thumping crooner to report for in fliction Jan, 20, the same day he was to start a movie W Hollywood called "King Creole." Paramount Pictures M asked Presley's draft board for an eight-week delay ctuse of "preparatory investments" on the movie. Ooone, Ford, Clooney Shows Classified by Video Critic By WILLIAM EWALD Viw York HP) The musical (flows on TV fall roughly into yiree classifications small ton, suburban and big city. Thursday night is a study in all three types. And strangely nough, all three follow each other not only in respect to time but in terms of sophistication. They are the Pat Boone show and the Tennessee Ernie Ford and Rosemary Clooney shows. The Boone show shuns sophis tication. Boone is a young fel low with a frank, open face and he has what the ladies call "a nice manner." And they are right! He is nice. But his 30-minuter lacks the drive and aggressive qualities that the Ford show (suburban) has to some extent and the Cloo . ney show (big city) has in even greater degree. From the production stand point the Boone show is pretty flat fare. Thursday night, he sang "All the Way" in front of a potted plant and "Long Tall Sally" while he was standing to the side of some steps. He gave out with "Stardust" while he stood in front of a guitar player. The dancing on the Boone show is pretty stale and the jokes are about on a par with the dancing. The Ford show, on the other hand, is a little more glossy. Oh, I know Tennessee started out as g country singer, but his folksi ness is pretty polished by now ind even though he'll bless "the little pea pickin hearts" of his udience, he's pretty much a Utttion wagon man right now. 3"he theme of Ford's show is Jind of suburban togetherness nd Thursday night, he and juest MacDonald Carey went through a rather long routine bout Christmas presents in a rather slickly furnished living room. Too. there is a singing group, "the Top 20" on the Ford show that are strictly chrome-plated. Thursday night, they did "Lone some Road," against a stark background with a rather weird tree hanging over the back of he set. It was not the sort of thing you might see on "Ozark Jubilee." Rose Clooney's show comes on late and it has late evening manners. Thursday night Miss Clooney had the Hi-Lo's with her and they helped open the show with "Great Day" while tons of balloons dangled in the air and dancers dressed in car nival outfits fandangoed. "That was sure a mover," Miss Cloo ney said at the close of the num ber and she was right. Billy De Wolfe, another guest went through a routine about making a $67 call to London on a pay phone and the Hi-Lo's came back in English coat sweaters to sing "Heather on the Hill." All of it, very stylish Miss Clooney herself is a very knowing and swinging singer who dresses pretty formally in keeping with the character of her show. I suppose there is room on TV for all three types, but frankly if I have to make a choice I'll take English coat sweaters and "Heather on the Hill" over "Long Tall Sally" and a flight of steps every time. Presley Granied 60-Day Deferment MemDhis: Tenn. OP) Elvis Preslev was granted a 60-day de ferment from the Army today so that he can complete his fourth Hollywood movie. Milton Bowers Sr., Presley's draft board chairman, an nounced that the three-member selective service board had voted unanimously to permit Presley to defer his induction into mili tary service. The singer, who amassed a fortune from his re cords, movies and various Elvis Presley enterprises, had been slated to report to Camp Chaffee, Ark., Jan. 20. Presley's Hollywood studio had asked for the deferment say ing "preparatory investments" amounting to almost 5350,000 had been made for Presley's fourth movie "King Creole" to be started in New Orleans in mid-January. Presley, 23, asked for a defer ment in a letter toBowers the day before Christmas. Presley pointed out that the' songs for the movie had been written and sent him to study. Friday. December 27. 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Mother, Child Escape In Auto-Train Crash Oregon City (IP) An Oregon Citv woman and her infant daughter escaped serious injury here Thursday when a South ern Pacific freight train struck her car, hurling it into the front of the Oregon City Enterprise Courier newspaper office. The 22-month-old daughter of Mrs. Arnold Thomas was thrown from the car and snatched to safety by Martin Clark, a mem ber of the Enterprise Courier editorial staff. Two plate glass windows in the front of the newspaper office were shattered. Mrs. Thomas told police that her attention was diverted mom entarily as she was driving down Singer Hill toward the SP grade crossing. She said she did not hear the freight train nor the warning signal. Clark said the child was un conscious by the time he reached it but that she began to revive in the newspaper office. Mrs. Thomas suffered from shock but otherwise appeared unhurt in the mishap. Eugene Man Killed In Wreck Near Halsey Albany, Ore. (IP) George Anderson, 72, Eugene, was kill ed Thursday when his car went off Highway 99 near Halsey while trying to pass a bus, State Police reported. Anderson's wife, Rosa, was treated for minor injuries at a local hospital. Honorable Discharges Wait Many Released As Security Risks Washington HP) Army of ficials estimated today that about 220 of 726 former officers and enlisted men discharged as se curity risks between 1948 and 1955 may soon be granted fully honorable military records. This means that about 30 per cent of all former army officers and enlisted men separated for security reasons since the gov ernment's loyalty program be gan may receive honorable dis charge under a special Army review program. Reconsideration Completed The Navy and Air Force have regular discharge review pro grams, but no special security review on discharges similar to the Army's. The Army disclosed Thursday it had completed reconsideration of 650 security cases since the program began in March, 1956, and 76 more remain to be de cided. Army'personnel officials em phasized that while the changes YEAR-jly. u. Aft tUU lOTI0 Savings from 20 to 50 Reg.

Riverside Phone SP 2-5972 were designed to correct any un fair or harsh discharges, they did not signify a let-up in Army loyalty security standards in the years since the end of congres sional investigations of military security policies. They pointed out that the pro gram was being administered under regulations issued by Army Secretary Wilber M. Brucker in 1955. Those required "common sense" judgments on the significance of previous sub versive ties and consideration of the soldier's overall military rec ord when discharged. The 726 discharges did not concern security violations while in the Army. Most of the cases involved personal association with Communists or other sub versive organizations before Army induction. Many falsified their Army records to cover up such ties. But about 30 per cent of the soldiers, officials said, were charged with lesser so-called se curity offenses such as having a relative in the Communist party and may now receive the highest military discharge status "honorable."
